Some reptiles St. Patrick missed...

Here are some more images of critters from the Reptile House in Gowran.
I'm getting quite fond of them now.. except for the spiders!

Reptile House

Hi all,

One of my projects this year is to advertise a business. I choose the Reptile House in Kilkenny so I could get close ups of the critters. I'm fine taking photos of the alligators, lizards and snakes. What I'm not so sure of is the Spiders  -  big, hairy and athletic tarantulas. I'll let you know how I get on. Here's a few images from my first session there.

The Zoo

Hi there,

I've been meaning to get around to put a few of my zoo photos up for a while. These were taken in Sept 2011 before we were back in college. It was a rainy day but the clouds cleared and quite a few of the animals came out to play. We only covered half the zoo so I will have to return to get pics of the larger animals, the elephants, giraffes and rhinos.

This isn't the wrong way around - It's a lying lion!

New Years Resolution - get out and take more pics

Hi all..  and Happy New Year!

Went to Bull Island on Saturday with the twitchers (bird watchers). I had my long lens with me but it wasn't nearly long enough. Most of my bird pics show them as tiny specks in the distance. I did get to see a kestrel hover and swoop. He caught a field mouse so if you're squeamish don't look closely at the next few pics!

Here's a few more civilised images from the rest of the day. We got some really nice light over the Poolbeg towers

And the last few are from Howth where we went to get a cuppa.

Attack of the Killer Penguins

Hi all.

Term is just  over and I'm a bit wrecked! Our last hand-in was Graphics and we had to design a DVD cover for a fictitious film using our own images. I used some of my images from Antarctica and turned my penguins evil. Hope you like them.

Spectacle of Hope & Defiance

These are some of the pictures I got last Sat (3rd Dec) at a protest against austerity by local communities and youth groups in Dublin. It was very colourful as they all wore red.
I was surprised though that it got no press whatsoever as far as I could see. I'd say there had to be over 1000 people there!

Hurrah ! - I got three images in Photography Ireland 2012

I found out last week that 3 of my images are printed in this years Photography Ireland Book. The book is produced by the Irish & Northern Irish Photography Federation every year. 

I'm delighted. Now it's getting very near to the end of term so I'll get back to my project work. It's not time to panic yet but it's pretty close :(
